No Response from Labour Liar, Parbinder Kaur

Regular readers will know that Parbinder Kaur was elected as a Labour Councillor last year. She immediately lied on her Register of Interests by failing to mention a second home on the Yew Tree.

Yesterday at her other, Smethwick, address she had a sign in her window advertising a room to rent in Panjabi and expressing a preference for a vegetarian tenant (see picture below - part of the two phone numbers has been blocked out by me).

I sent the following email to her asking her to respond by 4 pm today. She has not.

Dear Cllr,

THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION - PRESS ENQUIRY

As you are aware I have made a standards complaint about your failure to register your (2nd) Yew Tree property.

It has come to my attention that both of your properties appear to have, or to recently have had, tenants of one sort or another.

When you were caught out lying about your property interests you amended your Register of Interests on 3rd March, 2022 but in the section regarding financial gain you have not mentioned rental income. Why not?

Have you declared property rental receipts to HMRC?

Who pays the Council tax on your two properties? Do you receive a single person discount in respect of either property despite the property rentals?

Do you actually live in either of the two properties. If not, where do you live?

You are currently advertising a room at the Smethwick house. The advert is in Panjabi and so appears to discriminate against a large section of people? You also specify a preference for vegetarians. Do you agree that your advert is discriminatory?

You provided 2 phone numbers for would-be tenants. One is your Council phone funded by us taxpayers. Do you think it is appropriate to use your official phone to sort out your property business?

Please respond by 4pm tomorrow, Wednesday.

This is an extraordinary situation as is the fact that this inexperienced Councillor stood for the position of Mayor of Sandwell just a short time ago when facing a standards investigation in respect of her lie! 

I am now making enquiries with the relevant authorities.

Addendum - 16th May, 2022

There has still been no response from Cllr Kaur. In the circumstances I have, today,  added a further complaint to the existing one:

"Additional Complaint - Cllr Parbinder Kaur

In my initial complaint concerning this Labour Councillor, dated 2nd March, 2022, I disclosed that she had concealed details of property ownership within the Borough of Sandwell.

It has now come to my attention that Cllr Kaur has also made a false declaration in respect of her business interests in Part A, Paragraph 1 of her Register of Interests Entry despite having amended it as recently as 3rd March, 2022.

It is now clear that this Cllr is also in the business of property rental for profit or gain. Some of the evidence available is shown at:

https://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.com/2022/04/no-response-from-labour-liar-parbinder.html (a blog post dated 27th April, 2022, the blog being regularly monitored by SMBC and readily available to you.)

This evidence includes a photograph showing Cllr Kaur publicly used her Council-issued mobile phone number to seek tenants. You will also note that she was given the opportunity to explain the position. She has not done so, nor has she re-amended her Register entry.

For the reasons set out in the original section of this Complaint, Cllr Kaur is in breach of the Code of Conduct.

(Incidentally, the house she "forgot" about on the Yew Tree is very smart!)
